Here's Oilers head coach Chris Knobloch on the magnitude of tonight's game.
The importance of this in the standings. Here's a team that we're neck and neck with in standings. Both have aspirations to win the division. get some home ice advantage and just win games to ultimately to make playoffs. Both teams having their ups and downs. I think two good quality teams just not winning as many games they probably should during the year. But yeah, just I think, yeah, there's a lot of importance on this game tonight.
Knobloch says the owners need to maintain a good defensive posture tonight as they had Tuesday in Utah.
To replicate good performances, it usually just comes down to playing simple. You can't dictate how the game's going to be played out. But the more... predictable you are, the simpler you are, the more likely you're going to have the same outcome and I think a lot of things that we did the other night in Utah wasn't fancy, wasn't sexy, it was just simple hockey. All the players were engaged, they worked hard, their shifts were short, limited their mistakes and we got to play that brand of hockey.
Edmonton is 11-5-1 against Vegas since we had full interlocking play and all that sort of stuff after the 2010-21. Remember that when we got shut down and could only play in Canada? This thing called COVID changed the whole world and, you know, some governments grabbed a little power. Anyhow, I digress. You know what I'm talking about.
